The problem of hazardous waste is one of the main concerns in the state of Maharashtra, which is famous for its versatile industrialization process and processes of urbanization. The state houses all kinds of industries from chemical production to electronics, most of which produce dangerous waste. This waste if not disposed of in a proper manner can have adverse effects on the health of the people and the environment hence the need for proper regulation in its handling, treatment and disposal. The legal regime relating to authorization of hazardous waste management in Maharashtra is provided through several main rules encompassing the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 executed by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board MPCB. Any company falling under the hazardous waste production, storage, or disposal category needs permission from the MPCB while proving that their operations conform to the measures put in place by the government in the bid to control pollution. Specific documentation which is obligatory for the application is waste analysis reports, site plans, as well as the detailed waste management plan. This body is extremely useful when it comes to the issue of compliance, approval and even enforcement of environmental standards. Coordinating with other authorities, the MPCB oversees compliance with the national and international level standard to eliminate the hazardous waste management, known to threaten the environment and health of the citizens.
Hazardous waste management can be defined as the systems used in identification, collection, transport, processing, recycling and disposal of waste products that may be injurious to the health of humans and other living organisms, as well as the surrounding environment. These materials which are categorized to be hazardous may be in solid, liquid or gaseous state and usually contain poisonous, acidic or alkaline, inflammable or explosive and reactive chemicals. But good management must be undertaken so as to avoid any negative interaction with the compound and pollution of the environment.
Planning entails the identification and categorisation of the hazardous waste, after that comes the collection and storage of the waste. This step is critical to prevent types and amounts which are more hazardous from being generated in the first place and thus avoid more unusual and serious types of environmental pollution. Different types of wastes require different methods of treatment; however, they normally comprise chemical, biological, or thermal processes that seek to remove menacing compounds. On some occasions, hazardous waste can be reclaimed or find another use thus they do not require disposal.
Disposal is the last one, normally in a secure landfill that has been constructed to avoid any escape of wastes and possible pollution of the environment. Legalities that aim at providing a proper way of dealing with hazardous wastes are strictly enacted with both regional, national, and even international policies being in place.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
